you will see here: These are the Core Scripts Flash Cards and answer book pages for the Pulmonary Medicine section of the product. The actual cards in the product measure 3 x 5 but may display at a different size on your screen depending on your computer/monitor settings. For each Flash Card in this presentation, you will see the front Script side first, followed immediately by the back Answer side of the card. Note on the Answer side that the number in the upper right corner corresponds to the number in the answer book where you will find the correct diagnosis and other information for the Script on the card. (The answer book pages are in the separate PDF file you downloaded.) Note also that the bar along the top of the card on the Answer side is in color whereas the bar on the Script side is not. These color bars identify which topic areas the Scripts cards fall into. There is a unique color for Pulmonary, Gastroenterology, Infectious Disease, etc. Since all the cards in this presentation are Pulmonary Medicine, the color bar will be the same for all. When you have the actual product with the full set of cards for all topics, the varied color bars enable you to sort your cards so you can focus your study and review by specific topic if you wish. But if you prefer instead to do a randomized review, you simply use your cards with the Script sides face-up and mix them up, which keeps the topic area of each card unknown until you turn it over. Now click here to begin reviewing the Pulmonary Medicine Core Scripts Flash Cards.
